Jack,
More space is a desire and curse.
Users have to know there are limitations, otherwise you will never have a
enough money in your budget to accommodate the "more space" addiction. Users
have to clean up and archive their data. Manage the space requirements.
Insurance companies have found it cheaper to pay HIPPA fines then
accommodate unlimited space requests.
When you think about, that is a smart strategy.
Bottom Line: Manage the space requirements & requests prudently AND have the
end users manage their data storage via archiving and purging.

Folks,

Both of these bits are pretty good...and valuable. Please stick them up
on the student email initiative forum so they will make a difference.
Please.... :-)

The request for more space is the most common thing. More space is
coming. (The OIT re-org and email politics have delayed things
horridly.) I'm working on projects related to getting upgraded cyrus
servers in production that will have more space...so no matter what
direction we go that is something heavily on our minds.
